Observe
Watch carefully.
Aim to reproduce what the teacher is doing.
Avoid improvisation,
alteration or
over-thinking.
Listen
Pay full attention:
Look at the person talking to you
Listen to what they are saying
Do not fidget; relax your hands
Relax your feet
Concentrate.
Be patient. Listen closely,
follow instructions and
practice. Understanding requires
experience and context.
Think
Gain familiarity by doing tai chi
at home. Think about what you explored in class.
Deepen your knowledge by reading our
website.
The student has nothing to
offer but an absolute willingness to follow the teacher's instructions and
direction without question or comments or personal improvisation.
(Dave Lowry)
Bite size
It is tempting to try and
understand everything all at once. And absurd.
Sifu Waller has been training for decades; no one can hope to gain that
level of skill quickly.
Aim to progress methodically and gradually.
